VS502

Graduate Studio, the foundation of the 60-credit, two-year MFA in VS program, students take an individualized approach to their education, synthesizing their diverse experiences into their work. Students work in private studios within a shared community environment, where cross-disciplinary exchange is highly encouraged. Studio practice is guided by faculty mentors who meet with students weekly to provide critique, dialogue, and occasional assignments geared toward the individual student's creative investigations. Graduate Studio culminates in an exhibition of work and a written thesis presented at the end of the second year. In addition to working with faculty mentors, students meet for group critiques and on-campus activities.
